Chapter 140 Lin Shuangyu has been found
In the middle of the night, Ji Song, half-drunk, planned to go back to the gallery to rest. As soon as he got out of the car, he received a message saying that people from Beijing had arrived in Aocheng and taken Lin Shuangyu away, unable to keep her.
My initial guess is that he's one of Jiang Wang's men.
"Young Master Ji, we'll find a way to stop them."
Ji Song hung up after hearing that.
He smiled. No wonder Si Yuan suddenly ignored him; it turned out that Jiang Wang had already planned how to resolve this matter.
For so long, he thought he was playing games with her, but it turned out that Si Yuan was just playing along with him.
Just after midnight, my phone rang again; it was a message from the airline.
It turns out today is his birthday.
Ji Song has never celebrated his birthday since he was a child; no one welcomed him when he was born.
Nobody remembers his birthday.
As he approached the gallery entrance, he noticed a faint blue light emanating from inside.
He was puzzled and didn't know where the light came from.
After the gallery was renovated, he never came at night.
Pushing it open, I discovered blue light sloping down from the second floor.
He went up the stairs.
The blue light projected onto the ground, forming butterflies that spread throughout the corners of the gallery.
It turned out to be the hollowed-out Chinese-style lampshade hanging in the center of the second floor.
Moonlight streamed in through the window, penetrating the three-dimensional shapes of the butterflies and the specially treated glass, ultimately transforming them into individual butterflies.
Ji Song frowned in confusion; Si Yuan hadn't included these details in the design plan.
It must have been a sudden inspiration on her part.
Ji Song leaned against the railing, and the butterfly, following the moon's movement, slowly moved to the corner of his eye, where he saw a hazy light.
He lit a cigarette and smiled, "Consider it a birthday surprise."
He made a phone call to his subordinates.
"No need to stop them, let them go."
He had nothing left to give in return.
Consider it a favor to Si Yuan.
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Ji Song sighed and said, "Jiang Wang, you're really lucky."
——
Today is the day Si Yuan takes her wedding photos.
Jiang Shu had nothing better to do, so she insisted on following along.
Jiang Wang was particularly unhappy.
"Jiang Shu, do you really have to be a third wheel?"
Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow: "You have a problem with that?"
Jiang Wang backed down; even if he had opinions, he didn't dare to say them. Si Yuan and Jiang Shu were practically a couple now.
Jiang Shu helped Si Yuan put on an elaborate and beautiful diamond necklace, saying, "I'm here to give Xiao Yuan a piece of jewelry that I designed myself. This is a special set, and she'll wear it when she gets married."
Si Yuan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Si Yuan glanced at a sharply tailored mermaid wedding dress next to her and suddenly asked, "Sister, would you like to try on a wedding dress too?"
Jiang Shu was taken aback, tilted her head, and subconsciously refused: "It's too complicated, no thanks."
Jiang Wang's eyes flickered, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Try it. You've never worn one before. What if you never get married in your life? You'll never be able to wear it even when you die..."
Jiang Shu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can't you speak like a human being?"
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound.
Jiang Shu: "But you're too rough."
Jiang Shu looked at the wedding dress, and then, as if thinking of something, her voice deepened: "A woman doesn't necessarily have to wear a wedding dress in her life, nor does she necessarily have to get married. Even if she wears one, she might not be able to see the person she wants to see."
The interior scenes weren't finished filming until the afternoon.
That's actually a bit too fast.
Jiang Wang hired a well-known photographer in the industry who specializes in taking promotional photos for big-name celebrities.
But Si Yuan was too tired and didn't like taking pictures, so she couldn't pose. Jiang Wang didn't want to see her frowning, so the shoot was finished in one day.
As soon as she stepped outside, Si Yuan felt the air was fresher.
She glanced at Jiang Wang, a thought she dared not voice.
I absolutely must never get married a second time in this lifetime.
I'm so tired!
As soon as he got into the car, Jiang Wang received a call from his subordinate who had just returned from Aocheng.
They said that last night, Ji Song's men suddenly stopped and didn't stop them.
Jiang Wang knew why, but hung up without saying anything.
"Lin Shuangyu will arrive in Haicheng this afternoon. This time, I will gather my legal team to sue her and try to ensure she can never leave the city."
Si Yuan paused, not expecting Jiang Wang to act so quickly.
Are you confident?
"She fabricated evidence, fled to evade punishment, and has illegal assets—each and every one of these points is enough. Most importantly, do you remember Ji Song mentioning that she committed murder?"
Si Yuan felt a chill run down her spine: "I know."
“My people found out that when Lin Shuangyu was a sophomore, one of his roommates committed suicide by jumping off a building, but the matter was handled hastily and the girl’s family did not pursue the matter.”
Si Yuan felt a chill run down her spine. If she really had something to do with Lin Shuangyu, then what kind of vicious woman had she been dealing with all this time...?
He almost made her his sister-in-law.
Jiang Wang held her hand: "I don't want you to see these dirty things. Leave the rest to me."
Jiang's mother called to say that Jiang's father was not home again today, and asked Jiang Wang and his wife to come back and have dinner with her.
Jiang's father was mainly responsible for overseas markets and spent most of his time abroad.
Jiang Wang glanced at his watch and said, "There's an urgent board meeting tonight, I can't go back."
Si Yuan tugged at Jiang Wang's sleeve and whispered, "Shall I go keep Auntie company?"
This was the first time Jiang Wang had heard Si Yuan say that she wanted to see her family.
Moreover, when her mother said she wanted to have dinner with them, she really just wanted to see Si Yuan.
He forgot his son after getting a daughter-in-law.
He smiled and said, "Okay."
Soon, the car arrived at the Jiang family mansion.
Jiang Wang didn't get out of the car. He rolled down the window and called out to Si Yuan, "I'll pick you up after we finish eating."
"good!"
Si Yuan tugged at the scarf around her neck and went into the house.
Jiang's mother then prepared a large table of dishes.
She asked how the wedding photos went, and then looked at some of the photos Si Yuan had taken on her phone. She was overjoyed and kept serving Si Yuan food. The meal between the two of them was anything but quiet.
Scrolling to the next page, Jiang's mother realized that Jiang Shu was also there.
"Jiang Shu went too?"
"Yes."
"They didn't even say a word. The three of them have been incredibly busy lately."
Si Yuan smiled but didn't say anything. It was Jiang's mother who sighed first.
"Your sister probably doesn't want to come home for dinner either."
Si Yuan asked cautiously, "Because of...that matter?"
“Hmm.” Jiang’s mother was not surprised that Si Yuan knew about this. Ten years ago, almost everyone in Haicheng’s elite circles knew about it.
"Actually, it's also our fault. We shouldn't have stopped them back then."
Jiang's mother is open-minded now, but she wasn't like this ten years ago.
No one can tolerate their daughter marrying a man who is almost ten years older than her.
What's more, he's her uncle.
But now, Jiang's mother has thought it through very clearly.
There are all kinds of love in this world. They are not related by blood, so how can they violate human ethics?
But it was too late to figure it out.
Jiang Shu has drifted further and further away from her family.
Si Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "My uncle... he's back."
